Evelegh Designs is a multi-disciplined interior and exterior design firm. Formerly Jocelyn Evelegh Interiors, now Evelegh Designs with Rupert joining and expanding the business to include more analytical, planning and architectural work.

Our approach

Our role as designers is to listen to our clients and discover what is wanted so that we can create buildings and enviroments that reflects this. The creativity of the team and a good understanding between client and designer ultimately defines the success of any scheme.

We are focused on creating effective, stimulating and functional environments that enhance people’s lives as buildings and their interiors are about the people who live and work in them. We consider appearance, identity, style, space, function, along with client’s objectives including flexibility, budget and programme.
